Default 13' bad wheel bearing already?

Purchased a 13' GT last year not sure if this noise was there before as i drive 9/10 times with window down. It sounds like a bad wheel bearing but in city driving its only noticeable between 40-60mph. To diagnose i jacked it up for any play but didnt find none. I also swerve it left and right while driving noise does not go away nor get quietter.

I found a video that has the sound im talking about below starts at 5:14, that wom wom wom sound. Does your 13' GT sound like that driving?

Cant hear it? watch @ 5:16 that wom wom wom sound cruising 40-60mph its pretty noticeable. No vibration just that wom wom noise, its super annoying on highway but not sure if its engine or bad wheel bearing

I don't really hear anything on that video either. Can you upload a video of your car making the noise? Maybe it'll be easier to hear.

Try watching again with speaker up its very noticeable! Start from 5:14 to 5:40, i promise im not crazy lol. I have very bad experiences with the 2 nearby Ford in my area. One scratched my car paint while in for a pinion seal leak and the other dealer dented my jack point when i was in there for a second pinion leak due to first one not done correctly.......

I don't really hear anything either. When wheel bearings go out, it sounds like a constant drone.. almost like really loud tire noise. A wom wom wom could be an out of balance tire. It's hard to capture these things with a cell phone. I assume you still have your warranty? Just take it to the dealer and have them deal with it.

It might help to turn the engine off when you are at the speed it's making the sound.
